NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS)
NEWS, NOTES & NUMBERS: Toyota Camry drivers have recorded four wins (Busch -- California, Texas and Richmond; Logano -- Nashville), 16 top-fives and 37 top-10 finishes through 11 NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) races in 2009 ... Busch leads the NNS series point standings, holding a 73-point advantage over second-place Carl Edwards ... Toyota swept the NNS events last year at Dover ... Hamlin won the spring event and Busch was victorious in the fall ... Jason Leffler has recorded six-consecutive top-10 finishes heading into Saturday's race ... Leffler will make his 200th-career NNS start at 'The Monster Mile,' where he earned his first career NASCAR victory in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2003.
JASON LEFFLER, No. 38 Great Clips Toyota Camry, Braun Racing
Why do you enjoy racing at Dover? "Dover has been a pretty good track for me over the years. My first NASCAR win came at Dover in 2003 when I was racing in the Truck Series, so it's a special place for me. Dover is a really fun race track. It's similar to Bristol with the high banking, but it's got the feel of a superspeedway. It's easy to forget that it's only a one mile-track because of the speeds you are carrying. It's really narrow so there's not a whole lot of room to negotiate. Being able to charge hard into the corners so you can keep up your momentum on the straight-aways is really important."
